Les Fruits Rouges de Juillet

Fruit rouge the, 9" x 11"

It's July so you should be eating your fruits rouge. If not, please hightail it over to Gerard Mulot76, rue de Seine 75006Nobody does fruit rouge better.Mulot seems to be in love with red fruits and why not? This is the season. I just had some for breakfast.

With this red book. Don't worry about the content, as long as it's red!

I did exactly this in juin. Granted it was notjuillet (the RED month) so no wonder there were a few slipups. I ordered this delicious looking fruits rouges compote at A Priori The. They threw in the gingered brownie as an extra treat and miam-miam!

The tea salon is set outside in the Galerie Vivienne so when I went inside to the loo, naturalment I took all my stuff with me, just playing it safe...

Imagine my surprise when I saw the red faces of the staff, crowded around my little table. They thought I'd done a runner! Don't believe anyone who tells you the French don't smile. Ha! There were Big smiles when they saw me return to pay the l'addition.

Imagine me, turing over a new leaf, logging on to read PB with my breakfast spoon in hand ....vanilla yogurt with a sprinkle of granola and ....FRUITS ROUGE!!!! I dropped my spoon. I am channelling Paris Breakfasts! Now, if I just had one of those little round Mulot raspberry tarts... as you say, "Miam"!

I love all your photos and your beautiful paintings. I was on Etsy today looking through photos and saw one which reminded me so much of your macaron posts! It's at http://www.etsy.com/listing/51005332/my-favorite-macarons-5x5-fine-art

Thanks for sharing your talent and your love of beautiful food and desserts. I love reading about it.
